My boyfriend and I are starting a two-week raw foods diet. Wondering if anyone who is doing or has done something similar might have any tips or advice?

Check this site out. It really helped me alot!

I've been trying to eat better and want to go at least 50% raw…what's the best way to start?

GREAT! I've been raw for 2 months now and I love it. For breakfast I just finished off a young coconut. The juice and pulp for a young coconut gives me so much energy!!

I love this new way of eating and I couldn't imagine any other way ever again! This is for life!

This is how you can get started, eat only fruit in the morning, or on an empty stomach. I usually eat a banana, orange, some kiwi and berries. I'll eat fruit when ever I'm hungry until 12:00pm.

For lunch I eat a big salad with lemon juice and herbs. Sometimes I'll make homemade dressing that I get from a book I bought, "Rainbow live food cousine" by Dr. Gabriel Cusine. My salad has everything on it including my favorite avocodos!

For dinner, I'll eat either fruit on an empty stomach, or I'll make myself squash spagetti that I experimented with with one of my kitchen tools.

I also bought a dehydrator and I am addicted to dried tomatoes!

If you're seriously going to start raw I recommend you read that best book ever by David Wolfe "Sundried food diet success system" no other book compares!

Here is a great website to go to:

I can’t really figure out how to get started. There is too much info on her websites to sift through. Can anybody tell me how to get started on a raw foods diet. What books do I get, products do I need, etc…

When I was a kid my Mom started eating the raw food diet, and she was extreme about it from the start. She ate nothing but fruit and veggies for 2 years and lost 100 and so pounds. I starved as a child in the house, and often would steal money from her purse to go eat out places, because I was only about 10 years old. She tried to pursue her kids to eat like that, but instead I gained all the weight eating whatever I could outside the house. She eventually had many health problems, and looked like a ghost in the face, so her doctor told her to start eating dairy’s, and she read up on it like crazy and decided that her diet did call for it. Now she is over weight though because she got into a accident that makes it impossible for her to move, and work off the weight, and she is now on this meats, eggs, cheese diet that is slowly working for her, but I think in the long run the weight will stay off, and she can still full and healthy proteins.

I wouldn’t recommend going fully raw foodiest, unless your committed to do it for the rest of your life! Because as soon as you start eating normal foods again the weight will slap right back on!

I am adding more raw foods but confused!

dehydrate Dehydration (hypohydration) is the removal of water (hydro in ancient Greek) from an object.
to remove bound water or hydrogen and oxygen from (a chemical compound) in the proportion in which they form water b : to remove water from (as foods)

Freeze Dry
to dry (as food) in a frozen state under high vacuum especially for preservation Freeze drying (also known as lyophilization) is a dehydration process typically used to preserve a perishable material or make the material more convenient for transport. Freeze drying works by freezing the material and then reducing the surrounding pressure and adding enough heat to allow the frozen water in the material to sublime directly from the solid phase to gas.

Evaporation is the process by which molecules in a liquid state (e.g. water) spontaneously becomes a gas (e.g. water vapor), without being heated to the boiling point. It is the opposite of condensation. Generally, this manifests as the gradual disappearance of the liquid, when exposed to a significant volume of gas.
